So I wrote my original version of the Ninjago version of Lullaby for a Princess way back between seasons 3 and 4 but now I feel that season 11 fits so much better in context with the song so here's the new version, this is entirely sung by sensei Wu. I own nothing in this.
Fate has been cruel and order unfair
How could she have sent you away
The blame was my own
The punishment yours
The balance is silenced tonight
But into the stillness
We offer our song
And we will your company keep
Till your tired eyes, and our lullabies
Have carried you softly to sleep.
Once did a sensei so wise and so sure
Lookout on his ninja and sighed
He smiled and thought surely there is no being
Who could beat them or diminish their bond
So great was their team and so brilliant his wisdom
That long was forgotten the past
Which came back to haunt him and his friends
And grew more substantial as weeks and months passed
Soon did that sensei take notice old enemies had come for revenge
And neither had he shown much faith in his team
He watched as his mistakes almost cost them their lives
But such is the way of the past that it haunts you
And that foolish sensei did nothing to stop
The destruction of one who had never failed him
Lullay ice ninja goodbye student mine
Rest now in snow's sweet embrace
Bare up this lullaby, winds of this realm
Through clouds and through sky and through realms
Carry the peace and coldness of ice
And carry my sorrow in kind
Zane you are loved so much more than we showed
May trouble be far from your mind
And forgive me for being so blind
The realms now between us
Distant and unknown
I never imagined you'd face them on your own
May these next tomorrows
Swiftly pass I pray
We love you, we miss you
All these miles away
May all your journeys be safe now I pray
Safe from all my past mistakes
And know not of sadness, pain, or fear
And when I found out how, I'll meet you there
Wait, wait, wait.
